Does any know some good http (at least) sniffer which works under Windows Phone 7 OS?
Currently I use wireshark/fiddler + windows phone 7 emulator for testing, but anyway I want to test my app using real phone + some win 7 phone sniffer too.
I'll appreciate any help.
You can use Fiddler with your device also.
Mike Ormond demonstrates here.

The current Windows Phone platform SDK does not expose access to the network stack or the radio interface at all, so in the current incarnation there is no way to create a sniffer for the platform.

I'm trying to test a website using Windows 10's touchscreen gestures. We don't actually have a Windows 10 device with a touchscreen, but www.browserstack.com and www.saucelabs.com/ do not have this option.
What's the right way to test via Windows 10 touchscreen, short of actually buying a Windows 10 device with a touchscreen?
While SauceLabs do provide real devices they rely on Appium to interact with the devices.
Microsoft have released a windows hardware lab kit ("Windows HLK").
There is more documentation here.
This appears to the "right" way perform this testing.
I am new to windows phone technology ,so I am trying to access windows phone 7 or 8 remotely from desktop. I have searched on many sites , but there are many solutions regarding remote desktop that means remotely handle desktop from mobile phones but I have not found any solutions in reverse manner i.e Windows Phone from desktop ,also there is many solutions are available for android phones but not even single solution for windows phone.So,is there any API or any other way for remotely handle windows phone.Any kind of help would greatly appreciated.
Thank u.

using System.Runtime.Remoting;
using System.Runtime.Remoting.Channels;
using System.Runtime.Remoting.Channels.Http;
system.runtime.remoting.dll doesn't support for windows phone 7 platform. so please let me know what dll we can use for remoting confuration.
As you said, the Remoting technology is not supported on windows phone and there are no workarounds.
Windows Phone supports traditional networking (HTTP and sockets) as well as proximity APIs (Bluetooth, NFC, ...).
Especially, HTTP and sockets allow you call Web/WCF service & Web Api. That's all.
I want to capture distances from sensors, using an Arduino and a Windows Phone device. How can I do that?
The Windows Phone 7 SDK does not give access to the USB port or Bluetooth on the phone, so you can't use that. So I think the best way (and probably only way on Windows Phone 7) would be to communcate over Internet or local network with the Arduino acting as a server which the Windows Phone 7 app connects too.
Here are some examples of an Arduino web server and TCP server.
For the Windows Phone client I would check out either WebClient or sockets.
Windows Phone 8 SDK:
Consider establishing an App to Device communication through Bluetooth API which became available for developers in the release. Bluetooth App to Device application sample, available on MSDN, is the way to go.
There is another option in Windows Phone 8, using Proximity (a set of classes which works with NFC), which is more applicable for a short range communication.
As for Arduino, there is certainly a Bluetooth module.
Windows Phone 7 SDK:
No way to establish a peer-to-peer communication with a third party device. A workaround would be to connect them through a network, as was proposed by Johan.
I have actually made a Windows Phone 8 App that connects to an Arduino using the Sparkfun Bluetooth Silver Modem. Issues is, even after I get them connected, I can't get either the Arduino to receive the input OR I can't get the WP8 App to successfully send to the Arduino...
My GitHub for the project is: https://github.com/lanceseidman/Arduino-Bluetooth-WinPhone8
Hoping everyone can try and help on the project.
My Breadboard photos will be up soon and my Arduino Code.
I want to develop app for windows phone but I got a big problem, my laptop can't run the emulator, after checking the requirements I know that my vga driver doesn't support it. My question is, are there any alternative for windows phone emulator instead of the officially one from Microsoft? Or any other way to tweak it to be run on my laptop? Thanks
From my understanding there isn't any other windows phone emulators. If you can get a hold of a windows phone 7 it would be possible to test on that. You can try to contact a Microsoft windows phone evangelist in your area, the one in my area helped me get a phone to test on.
I am not sure about tweakinging your laptop to get the emulator to work. Is your vga driver up to date? If not maybe try to update it. I know it takes quite a bit of computer power to run the emulator smoothly.
If you wanted you can try to register for a virtual lab, here you remote into a windows machine and are able to build and test on the remote machine, but it is time limted and is usually for a class to learn about it. https://msevents.microsoft.com/CUI/EventDetail.aspx?culture=en-US&EventID=1032485600&%3bculture=en-US
